Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (referred to as the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (referred to as the “Exchange Act”), including, but not limited to, statements regarding our expectations, beliefs, intentions, strategies, future operations, future financial position, future revenue, projected expenses, and plans and objectives of management. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “project,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “can,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “objective,” or the negative of these terms, and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. However, not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views about future events and involve known risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievement to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2023, and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Furthermore, such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context otherwise requires, references to the “Company,” “Sprouts,” “Sprouts Farmers Market,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. and, where appropriate, its subsidiaries.

1. Basis of Presentation

Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc., a Delaware corporation, through its subsidiaries, offers a unique food specialty retail experience featuring an open layout with fresh produce at the heart of the store. The Company continues to bring the latest in wholesome, innovative products made with lifestyle-friendly ingredients such as organic, plant-based and gluten-free. As of October 1, 2023, the Company operated 401 stores in 23 states. For convenience, the “Company” is used to refer collectively to Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. and unless the context otherwise requires, its subsidiaries.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and are in the form prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission in instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year. The information included in these consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included herein and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2023 (“fiscal year 2022”) included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on March 2, 2023.

The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

The Company reports its results of operations on a 52- or 53-week fiscal calendar ending on the Sunday closest to December 31. The fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 (“fiscal year 2023”) and fiscal year 2022 are 52-week years. The Company reports its results of operations on a 13-week quarter, except for 53-week fiscal years (in which the fourth quarter has 14 weeks).

All dollar amounts are in thousands, unless otherwise noted.

Revision of previously issued financial statements

The Company identified an error in the financing activities section of its consolidated statements of cash flows for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2022, related to the presentation of proceeds from and repayments of borrowings associated with a modification of the Company's revolving credit facility on March 25, 2022. The correction of the error did not have any impact on the previously reported consolidated balance sheets, statements of income, or statements of comprehensive income, nor did it have any impact on total cash flows from operating activities or used in investing or financing activities. Although the Company has determined that the error did not have a material impact on its previously issued consolidated financial statements, the Company revised the presentation of cash flows from financing activities to reflect the proceeds from borrowings under the revolving credit facility of $62.5 million as a cash inflow from financing activities, and the repayments of borrowings under the revolving credit facility of $62.5 million as a cash outflow from financing activities.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied upon the transfer of goods to the customer, which occurs at the point of sale, and payment from customers is also due at the time of sale. Proceeds from the sale of gift cards are recorded as a liability at the time of sale and recognized as sales when they are redeemed by the customer and the performance obligation is satisfied by the Company. The Company’s gift cards do not expire. Based on historical redemption rates, a small and relatively stable percentage of gift cards will never be redeemed, referred to as "breakage." Estimated breakage revenue is recognized over time in proportion to actual gift card redemptions and was not material in any period presented. A summary of the activity and balances in the gift card liability, net is as follows:

The nature of goods the Company transfers to customers at the point of sale are inventories, consisting of merchandise purchased for resale.

The Company does not have any material contract assets or receivables from contracts with customers, any revenue recognized in the current period from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods, any contract performance obligations, or any material costs to obtain or fulfill a contract as of October 1, 2023.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash relates to the Company's defined benefit plan forfeitures and the Company's healthcare, general liability and workers’ compensation plan benefits of approximately $2.1 million and $2.0 million as of October 1, 2023 and January 1, 2023, respectively. These balances are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

No new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2023 had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3. Fair Value Measurements

The Company records its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with the framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP. This framework establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

(UNAUDITED)

Fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities are primarily used in the impairment analysis of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets.

The following tables present the fair value hierarchy for the Company’s financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of October 1, 2023 and January 1, 2023:

The determination of fair values of certain tangible and intangible assets for purposes of the Company’s goodwill or long-lived asset impairment evaluation is based upon Level 3 inputs. When necessary, the Company uses third party market data and market participant assumptions to derive the fair value of its asset groupings, which primarily include right-of-use lease assets and property and equipment.

Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and accrued salaries and benefits approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. Based on comparable open market transactions, the fair value of the long-term debt approximated carrying value as of October 1, 2023 and January 1, 2023.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

The Credit Agreement provides for a $70.0 million letter of credit sub-facility (the "Letter of Credit Sub-Facility") and a $50.0 million swingline facility. Letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement reduce the capacity of Intermediate Holdings to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility. Letters of credit totaling $21.5 million have been issued as of October 1, 2023 under the Letter of Credit Sub-Facility, primarily to support the Company’s insurance programs.

Guarantees

Obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and substantially all of its existing and future wholly-owned material domestic subsidiaries, and are secured by first-priority security interests in substantially all of the assets of the Company, Intermediate Holdings, and the subsidiary guarantors, including, without limitation, a pledge by the Company of its equity interest in Intermediate Holdings.

Interest and Fees

Loans under the Credit Agreement will initially bear interest, at the Company's option, either at the Term SOFR (with a floor of 0.00%) plus a 0.10% SOFR adjustment and 1.00% per annum or base rate (with a floor of 0.00%) plus 0.00% per annum. The interest rate margins are subject to upward adjustments pursuant to a pricing grid based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio as set forth in the Credit Agreement and to upward or downward adjustments of up to 0.05% based upon the achievement of certain diversity and sustainability-linked metric thresholds, as set forth in the Credit Agreement.

Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay a commitment fee on the available unused amount of the commitments, which commitment fee ranges between 0.10% to 0.225% per annum, pursuant to a pricing grid based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio. The commitment fees are subject to upward or downward adjustments of up to 0.01% based upon the achievement of certain diversity and sustainability-linked metric thresholds, as set forth in the Credit Agreement.

As of October 1, 2023, loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement bore interest at Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a 0.10% SOFR adjustment and 0.95% per annum.

As of October 1, 2023, outstanding letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement were subject to a participation fee of 0.95% per annum and an issuance fee of 0.125% per annum.

Payments and Borrowings

The Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature, and the commitments thereunder will terminate on March 25, 2027, subject to extensions as set forth therein.

The Company may prepay loans and permanently reduce commitments under the Credit Agreement at any time in agreed-upon minimum principal amounts, without premium or penalty (except SOFR breakage costs, if applicable).

In connection with the execution of the Credit Agreement, the Company's obligations under the Former Credit Facility were prepaid and terminated.

During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2023, the Company made no additional borrowings and made principal payments of $25.0 million and $100.0 million, respectively, resulting in total outstanding debt under the Credit Agreement of $150.0 million as of October 1, 2023. During 2022, the Company made no additional borrowings or principal payments, other than the net change of $62.5 million in the composition of the lending syndicate associated with a modification of the Company's revolving credit facility on March 25, 2022, resulting in total outstanding debt under the Credit Agreement of $250.0 million as of January 1, 2023.

Covenants

The Credit Agreement contains financial, affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants include, among other things, limitations on the Company’s ability to:

incur additional indebtedness;
grant additional liens;
enter into sale-leaseback transactions;
make loans or investments;
merge, consolidate or enter into acquisitions;
pay dividends or distributions;
enter into transactions with affiliates;
enter into new lines of business;
modify the terms of certain debt or other material agreements; and
change its fiscal year.

Each of these covenants is subject to customary and other agreed-upon exceptions.

In addition, the Credit Agreement requires that the Company and its subsidiaries maintain a maximum total net leverage ratio not to exceed 3.75 to 1.00, which ratio may be increased from time to time in connection with certain permitted acquisitions pursuant to conditions as set forth in the Credit Agreement, and a minimum interest coverage ratio not to be less than 3.00 to 1.00. Each of these covenants is tested as of the last day of each fiscal quarter.

The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Credit Agreement as of October 1, 2023.

5. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate decreased to 24.0% for the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2023, compared to 25.6% for the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2022. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to an increase in excess tax benefits associated with share-based payment awards. The income tax effect resulting from excess tax benefits of share-based payment awards was $1.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2023 and was immaterial for the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2022.

The Company's effective tax rate decreased to 24.0% for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2023 compared to 25.2% for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2022. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to an increase in excess tax benefits associated with share-based payment awards. The income tax effect resulting from excess tax benefits of share-based payment awards was $4.2 million and $1.6 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2023 and October 2, 2022, respectively.

The Company files income tax returns for federal purposes and in many states. The Company’s tax filings remain subject to examination by applicable tax authorities for a certain length of time, generally three years, following the tax year to which those filings relate.

6. Related Party Transactions

During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2023, the Company did not have any material related party transactions.

(UNAUDITED)

On May 24, 2022, the Company appointed a new member to its board of directors who served as an executive officer of a company that is a supplier of nutrition bars and related products to the Company for resale. The director departed employment from this supplier on February 28, 2023. The cost of sales recognized from this supplier during the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2022 was $1.2 million and was $2.5 million from the beginning of the second quarter of 2022 through October 2, 2022.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is exposed to claims and litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business and uses various methods to resolve these matters that are believed to best serve the interests of the Company’s stakeholders. The Company’s primary contingencies are associated with self-insurance obligations and litigation matters. Self-insurance liabilities require significant judgment and actual claim settlements and associated expenses may differ from the Company’s current provisions for loss.

Proposition 65 Coffee Action

On April 13, 2010, an organization named Council for Education and Research on Toxics (“CERT”) filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, against nearly 80 defendants who manufacture, package, distribute or sell brewed coffee, including the Company. CERT alleged that the defendants failed to provide warnings for their coffee products of exposure to the chemical acrylamide as required under California Health and Safety Code section 25249.5, the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, better known as Proposition 65. CERT seeks equitable relief, including providing warnings to consumers of coffee products, as well as civil penalties.

The Company, as part of a joint defense group, asserted multiple defenses against the lawsuit. On May 7, 2018, the trial court issued a ruling adverse to defendants on these defenses to liability. On October 1, 2019, before the court tried damages, remedies and attorneys' fees, California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment adopted a regulation that exempted “Exposures to listed chemicals in coffee created by and inherent in the processes of roasting coffee beans or brewing coffee” from Proposition 65’s warning requirement. On August 25, 2020, the court granted the defense motion for summary judgment based on the regulation, and the case was dismissed.

On November 20, 2020, CERT filed a notice of appeal to appeal the ruling on the defense motion for summary judgment. On October 26, 2022, the appellate court affirmed the trial court’s decision. In December 2022, CERT appealed this ruling to the Supreme Court of the State of California, which denied the petition for review in February 2023, concluding the matter.

8. Stockholders’ Equity

Share Repurchases

On March 2, 2022, the Company's board of directors authorized a new $600 million share repurchase program for its common stock. The new authorization replaced the Company's then-existing share repurchase authorization of $300 million that was due to expire on March 3, 2024, of which $99.8 million remained available upon its replacement. No further shares may be repurchased under the $300 million authorization.

9. Net Income Per Share

The computation of basic net income per share is based on the number of weighted average shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted net income per share includes the dilutive effect of share equivalents consisting of incremental shares deemed outstanding from the assumed exercise of options and unvested restricted stock units ("RSUs"). Performance share awards ("PSAs") are included in the computation of diluted net income per share only to the extent that the underlying performance conditions are satisfied prior to the end of the reporting period or would be satisfied if the end of the reporting period were the end of the related performance period, and if the effect would be dilutive.

A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted net income per share calculations is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

In December 2017, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage its cash flow associated with variable interest rates. This forward contract was designated and qualified as a cash flow hedge, and its change in fair value was recorded as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods in which the forecasted transaction occurred. The forward contract consisted of five cash flow hedges with a notional dollar amount of $250.0 million, and each had a length of one year and matured annually from 2018 to 2022.

The gain or loss on these derivative instruments was recognized in other comprehensive income, net of tax, with the portion related to current period interest payments reclassified to interest expense, net on the consolidated statements of income.

The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued to team members and directors under the 2022 Incentive Plan may not exceed 6,600,000, subject to the following adjustments. If any awards granted under the 2022 Incentive Plan, terminate, expire, or are cancelled, forfeited, exchanged, or surrendered without having been exercised, vested or paid in shares, the shares will again be available for purposes of the 2022 Incentive Plan. In addition, the number of shares subject to outstanding awards under the Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. 2013 Incentive Plan (the “2013 Incentive Plan”) that terminate, expire, are paid in cash, or are cancelled, forfeited, exchanged, or surrendered without having been exercised, vested, or paid in shares under the 2013 Incentive Plan after the effective date of the 2022 Incentive Plan will be available for issuance under the 2022 Incentive Plan. As of October 1, 2023, there were 912,037 stock awards outstanding and 5,774,130 shares remaining available for issuance under the 2022 Incentive Plan.

2013 Incentive Plan

Prior to the adoption of the 2022 Incentive Plan, the 2013 Incentive Plan served as the umbrella plan for the Company’s share-based and cash-based incentive compensation programs for its directors, officers and other team members. Upon stockholder approval of the 2022 Incentive Plan on May 25, 2022, no further awards will be granted under the 2013 Incentive Plan, but awards outstanding under the 2013 Incentive Plan will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms and the terms of the 2013 Incentive Plan.

15. Store Closures

In February 2023, the Company's board of directors approved the closing of 11 stores during 2023, all of which were closed during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2023. These stores, on average, were approximately 30% larger than the Company's current prototype format and were underperforming financially. The closure of these stores resulted in a charge of $27.8 million during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2023 related to the impairment of leasehold improvements and right-of-use assets and is reflected in Store closure and other costs, net on the consolidated statements of income. The impairment charge represented the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of each store's asset group. Accelerated depreciation on the closed stores' assets during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2023 was $5.9 million, and is reflected in Depreciation and amortization on the consolidated statements of income. Severance expense was immaterial during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2023, and no further severance expense is expected to be incurred.

16. Business Combination

On March 20, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of Ronald Cohn, Inc., a corporation that owned two stores located in California operating under the ‘Sprouts Farmers Market’ name pursuant to a legacy trademark license arrangement. The aggregate consideration paid in the transaction consisted of 0.6 million of the Company’s common shares valued at $18.1 million using the closing price of the Company's common stock on March 20, 2023 and cash consideration of $13.0 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments.

The Company accounted for this transaction as a business combination in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that the purchase price be allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Acquisition-related costs were immaterial and were expensed as incurred. The financial results of the acquired stores have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The acquired stores' results of operations were not material to the Company's consolidated results during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2023.

The net purchase price was initially allocated to the net tangible assets of ($4.9) million and a reacquired right intangible asset of $23.1 million based on their preliminary fair values on the acquisition date. The remaining unallocated net purchase price of $12.9 million was recorded as goodwill. Goodwill represents the future economic benefits to the Company from the acquisition, which include the Company's ability to fully control the Sprouts Farmers Market brand by termination of the legacy trademark license agreement and allowing further expansion opportunities in Southern California. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. There have been no material changes to the purchase price allocation originally recorded in the first quarter of 2023. The provisional fair value estimates are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained within the measurement period, which may not exceed twelve months from the acquisition date.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations together with the consolidated financial statements and related notes that are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2022 fiscal year, filed on March 2, 2023 (“Form 10-K”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All dollar amounts included below are in thousands, unless otherwise noted.

Business Overview

Sprouts Farmers Market offers a unique food specialty retail experience featuring an open layout with fresh produce at the heart of the store. Sprouts inspires wellness naturally with a carefully curated assortment of better-for-you products paired with purpose-driven people. We continue to bring the latest in wholesome, innovative products made with lifestyle-friendly ingredients such as organic, plant-based and gluten-free. Headquartered in Phoenix with 401 stores in 23 states as of October 1, 2023, we are one of the largest and fastest growing specialty retailers of fresh, natural and organic food in the United States.

Our Heritage

In 2002, we opened the first Sprouts Farmers Market store in Chandler, Arizona. From our founding in 2002 through October 1, 2023, we have grown rapidly, significantly increasing our sales, store count and profitability, including successfully rebranding 43 Henry’s Farmers Market and 39 Sunflower Farmers Market stores added in 2011 and 2012, respectively, to the Sprouts banner through acquisitions. These three businesses all trace their lineage back to Henry’s Farmers Market and were built with similar store formats and operations including a strong emphasis on value, produce and service in smaller, convenient locations.

Our Strategy

Since 2020, we have focused on our long-term growth strategy that we believe is transforming our company and driving profitable growth. We continue to execute on this strategy, focusing on the following areas:

Win with Target Customers. We are focusing attention on our target customers, identified through research as ‘health enthusiasts’ and ‘selective shoppers’, where there is ample opportunity to gain share within these customer segments. We believe our business can continue to grow by leveraging existing strengths in a unique assortment of better-for-you, quality products and by providing a full omnichannel offering through delivery or pickup via our website or the Sprouts app.
Update Format and Expand in Select Markets. We are delivering unique smaller stores with expectations of stronger returns, while maintaining the approachable, fresh-focused farmer’s market heritage Sprouts is known for. We have opened 36 stores and remodeled one store featuring our new format through October 1, 2023. Our geographic store expansion and new store placement will intersect where our target customers live, in markets with growth potential and supply chain support, which we believe will provide a long runway of approximately 10% annual unit growth beginning in 2024.
Create an Advantaged Fresh Supply Chain. We believe our network of fresh distribution centers can drive efficiencies across the chain and support growth plans. To further deliver on our fresh commitment and reputation, as well as to increase our local offerings and improve financial results, we aspire to ultimately position fresh distribution centers within a 250-mile radius of stores. With the opening of two fresh distribution centers in 2021 and the relocation of our Southern California distribution center in 2023, we have more than 85% of our stores within 250 miles of a distribution center as of October 1, 2023.

23


Table of Contents

Refine Brand and Marketing Approach. We believe we are elevating our national brand recognition and positioning by telling our unique brand story rooted in product innovation and differentiation. We are increasing our use of data analytics and insights. We believe this data-driven intelligence will increase customer engagement through personalization efforts with digital and social connections to drive additional sales growth and loyalty.
Inspire and Engage Our Talent to Create a Best Place to Work. Subsequent to the initial launch of our long-term growth strategy, we have added the focus area of inspiring and engaging our talent through our culture, acquisition and development and total rewards program to attract and retain the talent we believe we need to execute on our strategic goals and transform our company into a premier place to work.
Deliver on Financial Targets and Box Economics. We are measuring and reporting on the success of this strategy against a number of long-term financial and operational targets. With the implementation of our strategy beginning in 2020, we have significantly improved our margin structure above our 2019 baseline.

Recent Developments

In the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2023, as part of our real estate portfolio review, we closed 11 stores. These stores, on average, were approximately 30% larger than our current prototype format and were underperforming financially. See Note 15, “Store Closures” of our unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding these store closures.

Gross profit totaled $625.4 million during the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2023, an increase of $41.8 million, or 7%, compared to the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2022, driven by increased sales volume. Gross margin decreased by 0.2% to 36.5% for the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2023, compared to 36.7% for the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2022. The decrease was driven by higher distribution costs resulting from our new and recently expanded distribution centers in California and Texas, respectively.

Net sales during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2023 totaled $5.1 billion, an increase of $311.2 million, or 6%, over the same period of the prior fiscal year. The sales increase was primarily due to a 3.4% increase in comparable store sales resulting from an increase in basket value due to retail price inflation partially offset by a slight reduction in the number of items per basket and the impact of store closures, as well as sales from new stores opened in the last twelve months. See "Impact of Inflation and Deflation". Comparable stores contributed approximately 96% of total sales for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2023 and approximately 97% for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2022.

Return on Invested Capital

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, we provide information regarding Return on Invested Capital (referred to as “ROIC”) as additional information about our operating results. ROIC is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be reviewed in isolation or considered as a substitute for our financial results as reported in accordance with GAAP. ROIC is an important measure used by management to evaluate our investment returns on capital and provides a meaningful measure of the effectiveness of our capital allocation over time.

We define ROIC as net operating profit after tax (referred to as “NOPAT”), including the effect of capitalized operating leases, divided by average invested capital. Operating lease interest represents the add-back to operating income driven by the hypothetical interest expense we would incur if the property under our operating leases were owned or accounted for as a finance lease. The assumed ownership and associated interest expense are calculated using the discount rate for each lease as recorded as a component of rent expense within selling, general and administrative expenses. Invested capital reflects a trailing four-quarter average.

As numerous methods exist for calculating ROIC, our method may differ from methods used by other companies to calculate their ROIC. It is important to understand the methods and the differences in those methods used by other companies to calculate their ROIC before comparing our ROIC to that of other companies.

Our calculation of ROIC for the fiscal periods indicated was as follows:

We have generally financed our operations principally through cash generated from operations and borrowings under our credit facilities. Our primary uses of cash are for purchases of inventory, operating expenses, capital expenditures primarily for opening new stores, remodels and maintenance, repurchases of our common stock and debt service. Our principal contractual obligations and commitments consist of obligations under our Credit Agreement, interest on our Credit Agreement, operating and finance leases, purchase commitments and self-insurance liabilities. Our operating and finance leases for the rental of land, buildings, and for rental of facilities and equipment expire or become subject to renewal clauses at various dates through 2044. We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, and cash anticipated to be generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including new store openings, remodel and maintenance capital expenditures at existing stores, store initiatives and other corporate capital expenditures and activities. Our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash position benefits from the fact that we generally collect cash from sales to customers the same day or, in the case of credit or debit card transactions, within days from the related sale.

Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities increased $102.2 million to $409.0 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2023 compared to $306.8 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2022. The increase in cash flows from operating activities was primarily a result of changes in working capital and higher net income adjusted for non-cash items.

Cash flows provided by/(used in) operating activities from changes in working capital were $70.8 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2023 compared to ($6.9 million) in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2022. The increase was driven by prepaid expenses and other current assets, inventories and accrued liabilities.

Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities consist primarily of capital expenditures in new stores, including leasehold improvements and store equipment, capital expenditures to maintain the appearance of our stores, sales enhancing initiatives and other corporate investments as well as cash outlays for acquisitions. Cash flows used in investing activities were $178.0 million and $80.7 million, for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2023 and October 2, 2022, respectively.

Table of Contents

We expect capital expenditures to be in the range of $190 - $210 million in 2023, including expenditures incurred to date, net of estimated landlord tenant improvement allowances, primarily to fund investments in new stores, remodels, maintenance capital expenditures and corporate capital expenditures. We expect to fund our capital expenditures with cash on hand and cash generated from operating activities.

Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities were $272.3 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2023 compared to $155.0 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2022. During the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2023, cash flows used in financing activities primarily consisted of $180.4 million for stock repurchases and $100.0 million in payments on our Credit Agreement, partially offset by $8.8 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

During the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2022, cash flows used in financing activities primarily consisted of $155.1 million for stock repurchases and $3.4 million in debt issuance costs in connection with our Credit Agreement, partially offset by $4.1 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

Long-Term Debt and Credit Facilities

Long-term debt outstanding was $150.0 million as of October 1, 2023 and $250.0 million as of January 1, 2023.

Shares purchased under our repurchase programs were subsequently retired and the excess of the repurchase price over par value was charged to retained earnings. The cost of common shares repurchased during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2023 included the 1% excise tax imposed as part of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

Subsequent to October 1, 2023 and through the date of this filing, we repurchased an additional 0.1 million shares of common stock for $2.8 million.

Contractual Obligations

Our principal contractual obligations and commitments arising in the normal course of business consist of obligations under our Credit Agreement, interest on our Credit Agreement, operating and finance leases, purchase commitments and self-insurance liabilities. There have been no material changes outside the normal course of business as of October 1, 2023 in our contractual obligations and commitments from those reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2023.

The future amount and timing of interest payments are expected to vary with the outstanding amounts and then prevailing contractual interest rates. Interest payments through the March 25, 2027 maturity date of our Credit Agreement based on the outstanding amounts as of October 1, 2023 and interest rates in effect at the time of this filing, are estimated to be approximately $28.3 million, with $9.4 million payable within 12 months.

Impact of Inflation and Deflation

Inflation and deflation in the prices of food and other products we sell may periodically affect our sales, gross profit and gross margin. Food inflation, when combined with reduced consumer spending, could also reduce sales, gross profit margins and comparable store sales. Inflationary pressures on compensation, utilities, commodities, equipment and supplies may also impact our profitability. Food deflation or declining levels of inflation across multiple categories, particularly in produce, could reduce sales growth and earnings, particularly if our competitors react by lowering their retail pricing and expanding their promotional activities, which can lead to retail deflation higher than cost deflation that could reduce our sales, gross profit margins and comparable store sales. The short-term impact of inflation and deflation is largely dependent on whether or not the effects are passed through to our customers, which is subject to competitive market conditions.

Food inflation and deflation is affected by a variety of factors and our determination of whether to pass on the effects of inflation or deflation to our customers is made in conjunction with our overall pricing and marketing strategies, as well as our competitors’ responses. Although we may experience periodic effects on sales, gross profit, gross margins and cash flows as a result of changing prices, including pressures we experienced in fiscal 2022 and continue to experience in fiscal 2023 due to product cost inflation which we largely passed along to retail pricing, we do not expect the effect of inflation or deflation to have a material impact on our ability to execute our long-term business strategy.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. These principles require us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses, cash flow and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Our critical accounting estimates include inventories, lease assumptions, self-insurance reserves, goodwill and intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets, and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and our actual results, our future financial statements will be affected.

35


Table of Contents

There have been no substantial changes to these estimates, or the policies related to them during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2023. For a full discussion of these estimates and policies, see “Critical Accounting Estimates” in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2023.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

As described in Note 4, “Long-Term Debt and Finance Lease Liabilities” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements located elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Credit Agreement bears interest at a rate based in part on SOFR. Accordingly, we could be exposed to fluctuations in interest rates. Based solely on the $150.0 million principal outstanding under our Credit Agreement as of October 1, 2023, each hundred basis point change in SOFR would result in a change in interest expense by $1.5 million annually.

This sensitivity analysis assumes our mix of financial instruments and all other variables will remain constant in future periods. These assumptions are made in order to facilitate the analysis and are not necessarily indicative of our future intentions.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures under the Exchange Act as of October 1, 2023, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarterly period ended October 1, 2023, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Table of Contents

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

From time to time we are a party to legal proceedings, including matters involving personnel and employment issues, product liability, personal injury, intellectual property and other proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, which have not resulted in any material losses to date. Although management does not expect that the outcome in these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations, litigation is inherently unpredictable. Therefore, we could incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims that could materially impact our results.

See Note 7, “Commitments and Contingencies” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for information regarding certain legal proceedings in which we are involved.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Certain factors may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties referenced below, together with all of the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes. Any of those risks could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results, financial condition, or prospects and cause the value of our common stock to decline, which could cause you to lose all or part of your investment.

There have been no material changes to the Risk Factors described under “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2023.

Periodic information is presented by reference to our fiscal periods during the third quarter of fiscal year 2023.
(2)
On March 2, 2022, our board of directors authorized a $600 million share repurchase program of our common stock. The shares may be purchased on a discretionary basis from time to time through December 31, 2024, subject to general business and market conditions and other investment opportunities, through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or other means, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans.

Item 5. Other Information.

Rule 10b5-1 Trading Arrangement

On August 11, 2023, Lawrence Molloy, our Chief Financial Officer, adopted a written plan for the sale of our common stock that is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act (a “Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plan”). The Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plan provides for the sale of up to 108,568 shares of the Company's common stock beginning November 10, 2023 through August 11, 2024.

During the third quarter of 2023, except as described above, none of our other directors or executive officers adopted or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plan, or a “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” (as defined in Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K).

Basis of Presentation

1. Basis of Presentation

Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc., a Delaware corporation, through its subsidiaries, offers a unique food specialty retail experience featuring an open layout with fresh produce at the heart of the store. The Company continues to bring the latest in wholesome, innovative products made with lifestyle-friendly ingredients such as organic, plant-based and gluten-free. As of October 1, 2023, the Company operated 401 stores in 23 states. For convenience, the “Company” is used to refer collectively to Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. and unless the context otherwise requires, its subsidiaries.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and are in the form prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission in instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year. The information included in these consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included herein and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2023 (“fiscal year 2022”) included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on March 2, 2023.

The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

The Company reports its results of operations on a 52- or 53-week fiscal calendar ending on the Sunday closest to December 31. The fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 (“fiscal year 2023”) and fiscal year 2022 are 52-week years. The Company reports its results of operations on a 13-week quarter, except for 53-week fiscal years (in which the fourth quarter has 14 weeks).

All dollar amounts are in thousands, unless otherwise noted.

Revision of previously issued financial statements

The Company identified an error in the financing activities section of its consolidated statements of cash flows for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2022, related to the presentation of proceeds from and repayments of borrowings associated with a modification of the Company's revolving credit facility on March 25, 2022. The correction of the error did not have any impact on the previously reported consolidated balance sheets, statements of income, or statements of comprehensive income, nor did it have any impact on total cash flows from operating activities or used in investing or financing activities. Although the Company has determined that the error did not have a material impact on its previously issued consolidated financial statements, the Company revised the presentation of cash flows from financing activities to reflect the proceeds from borrowings under the revolving credit facility of $62.5 million as a cash inflow from financing activities, and the repayments of borrowings under the revolving credit facility of $62.5 million as a cash outflow from financing activities.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied upon the transfer of goods to the customer, which occurs at the point of sale, and payment from customers is also due at the time of sale. Proceeds from the sale of gift cards are recorded as a liability at the time of sale and recognized as sales when they are redeemed by the customer and the performance obligation is satisfied by the Company. The Company’s gift cards do not expire. Based on historical redemption rates, a small and relatively stable percentage of gift cards will never be redeemed, referred to as "breakage." Estimated breakage revenue is recognized over time in proportion to actual gift card redemptions and was not material in any period presented. A summary of the activity and balances in the gift card liability, net is as follows:

Fair Value Measurements

3. Fair Value Measurements

The Company records its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with the framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP. This framework establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities are primarily used in the impairment analysis of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets.

The following tables present the fair value hierarchy for the Company’s financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of October 1, 2023 and January 1, 2023:

The determination of fair values of certain tangible and intangible assets for purposes of the Company’s goodwill or long-lived asset impairment evaluation is based upon Level 3 inputs. When necessary, the Company uses third party market data and market participant assumptions to derive the fair value of its asset groupings, which primarily include right-of-use lease assets and property and equipment.

Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and accrued salaries and benefits approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. Based on comparable open market transactions, the fair value of the long-term debt approximated carrying value as of October 1, 2023 and January 1, 2023.

Credit Agreement

The Company’s subsidiary, Sprouts Farmers Markets Holdings, LLC (“Intermediate Holdings”), is the borrower under a credit agreement entered into on March 25, 2022 (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") with an initial aggregate commitment of $700.0 million. Amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement may be increased from time to time in accordance with an expansion feature set forth in the Credit Agreement.

The Company capitalized debt issuance costs of $3.4 million related to the Credit Agreement, which, combined with the remaining $0.5 million debt issuance costs in respect of that certain amended and restated credit agreement entered into on March 27, 2018, by and among the Company, Intermediate Holdings, certain lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Former Credit Facility”), which remained outstanding as of the time of Intermediate Holdings’ entry into the Credit Agreement, were recorded to prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized on a straight-line basis to interest expense over the five-year term of the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement provides for a $70.0 million letter of credit sub-facility (the "Letter of Credit Sub-Facility") and a $50.0 million swingline facility. Letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement reduce the capacity of Intermediate Holdings to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility. Letters of credit totaling $21.5 million have been issued as of October 1, 2023 under the Letter of Credit Sub-Facility, primarily to support the Company’s insurance programs.

Guarantees

Obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and substantially all of its existing and future wholly-owned material domestic subsidiaries, and are secured by first-priority security interests in substantially all of the assets of the Company, Intermediate Holdings, and the subsidiary guarantors, including, without limitation, a pledge by the Company of its equity interest in Intermediate Holdings.

Interest and Fees

Loans under the Credit Agreement will initially bear interest, at the Company's option, either at the Term SOFR (with a floor of 0.00%) plus a 0.10% SOFR adjustment and 1.00% per annum or base rate (with a floor of 0.00%) plus 0.00% per annum. The interest rate margins are subject to upward adjustments pursuant to a pricing grid based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio as set forth in the Credit Agreement and to upward or downward adjustments of up to 0.05% based upon the achievement of certain diversity and sustainability-linked metric thresholds, as set forth in the Credit Agreement.

Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay a commitment fee on the available unused amount of the commitments, which commitment fee ranges between 0.10% to 0.225% per annum, pursuant to a pricing grid based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio. The commitment fees are subject to upward or downward adjustments of up to 0.01% based upon the achievement of certain diversity and sustainability-linked metric thresholds, as set forth in the Credit Agreement.

As of October 1, 2023, loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement bore interest at Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a 0.10% SOFR adjustment and 0.95% per annum.

As of October 1, 2023, outstanding letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement were subject to a participation fee of 0.95% per annum and an issuance fee of 0.125% per annum.

Payments and Borrowings

The Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature, and the commitments thereunder will terminate on March 25, 2027, subject to extensions as set forth therein.

The Company may prepay loans and permanently reduce commitments under the Credit Agreement at any time in agreed-upon minimum principal amounts, without premium or penalty (except SOFR breakage costs, if applicable).

In connection with the execution of the Credit Agreement, the Company's obligations under the Former Credit Facility were prepaid and terminated.

During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2023, the Company made no additional borrowings and made principal payments of $25.0 million and $100.0 million, respectively, resulting in total outstanding debt under the Credit Agreement of $150.0 million as of October 1, 2023. During 2022, the Company made no additional borrowings or principal payments, other than the net change of $62.5 million in the composition of the lending syndicate associated with a modification of the Company's revolving credit facility on March 25, 2022, resulting in total outstanding debt under the Credit Agreement of $250.0 million as of January 1, 2023.

Covenants

The Credit Agreement contains financial, affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants include, among other things, limitations on the Company’s ability to:

incur additional indebtedness;
grant additional liens;
enter into sale-leaseback transactions;
make loans or investments;
merge, consolidate or enter into acquisitions;
pay dividends or distributions;
enter into transactions with affiliates;
enter into new lines of business;
modify the terms of certain debt or other material agreements; and
change its fiscal year.

Each of these covenants is subject to customary and other agreed-upon exceptions.

In addition, the Credit Agreement requires that the Company and its subsidiaries maintain a maximum total net leverage ratio not to exceed 3.75 to 1.00, which ratio may be increased from time to time in connection with certain permitted acquisitions pursuant to conditions as set forth in the Credit Agreement, and a minimum interest coverage ratio not to be less than 3.00 to 1.00. Each of these covenants is tested as of the last day of each fiscal quarter.

The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Credit Agreement as of October 1, 2023.

5. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate decreased to 24.0% for the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2023, compared to 25.6% for the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2022. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to an increase in excess tax benefits associated with share-based payment awards. The income tax effect resulting from excess tax benefits of share-based payment awards was $1.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2023 and was immaterial for the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2022.

The Company's effective tax rate decreased to 24.0% for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2023 compared to 25.2% for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2022. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to an increase in excess tax benefits associated with share-based payment awards. The income tax effect resulting from excess tax benefits of share-based payment awards was $4.2 million and $1.6 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2023 and October 2, 2022, respectively.

The Company files income tax returns for federal purposes and in many states. The Company’s tax filings remain subject to examination by applicable tax authorities for a certain length of time, generally three years, following the tax year to which those filings relate.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is exposed to claims and litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business and uses various methods to resolve these matters that are believed to best serve the interests of the Company’s stakeholders. The Company’s primary contingencies are associated with self-insurance obligations and litigation matters. Self-insurance liabilities require significant judgment and actual claim settlements and associated expenses may differ from the Company’s current provisions for loss.

Proposition 65 Coffee Action

On April 13, 2010, an organization named Council for Education and Research on Toxics (“CERT”) filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, against nearly 80 defendants who manufacture, package, distribute or sell brewed coffee, including the Company. CERT alleged that the defendants failed to provide warnings for their coffee products of exposure to the chemical acrylamide as required under California Health and Safety Code section 25249.5, the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, better known as Proposition 65. CERT seeks equitable relief, including providing warnings to consumers of coffee products, as well as civil penalties.

The Company, as part of a joint defense group, asserted multiple defenses against the lawsuit. On May 7, 2018, the trial court issued a ruling adverse to defendants on these defenses to liability. On October 1, 2019, before the court tried damages, remedies and attorneys' fees, California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment adopted a regulation that exempted “Exposures to listed chemicals in coffee created by and inherent in the processes of roasting coffee beans or brewing coffee” from Proposition 65’s warning requirement. On August 25, 2020, the court granted the defense motion for summary judgment based on the regulation, and the case was dismissed.

On November 20, 2020, CERT filed a notice of appeal to appeal the ruling on the defense motion for summary judgment. On October 26, 2022, the appellate court affirmed the trial court’s decision. In December 2022, CERT appealed this ruling to the Supreme Court of the State of California, which denied the petition for review in February 2023, concluding the matter.

9. Net Income Per Share

The computation of basic net income per share is based on the number of weighted average shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted net income per share includes the dilutive effect of share equivalents consisting of incremental shares deemed outstanding from the assumed exercise of options and unvested restricted stock units ("RSUs"). Performance share awards ("PSAs") are included in the computation of diluted net income per share only to the extent that the underlying performance conditions are satisfied prior to the end of the reporting period or would be satisfied if the end of the reporting period were the end of the related performance period, and if the effect would be dilutive.

A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted net income per share calculations is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

10. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company did not have any outstanding interest rate swap agreements as of October 1, 2023 and January 1, 2023.

In December 2017, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage its cash flow associated with variable interest rates. This forward contract was designated and qualified as a cash flow hedge, and its change in fair value was recorded as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods in which the forecasted transaction occurred. The forward contract consisted of five cash flow hedges with a notional dollar amount of $250.0 million, and each had a length of one year and matured annually from 2018 to 2022.

The gain or loss on these derivative instruments was recognized in other comprehensive income, net of tax, with the portion related to current period interest payments reclassified to interest expense, net on the consolidated statements of income. The following table summarizes these losses classified on the consolidated statements of income:

The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued to team members and directors under the 2022 Incentive Plan may not exceed 6,600,000, subject to the following adjustments. If any awards granted under the 2022 Incentive Plan, terminate, expire, or are cancelled, forfeited, exchanged, or surrendered without having been exercised, vested or paid in shares, the shares will again be available for purposes of the 2022 Incentive Plan. In addition, the number of shares subject to outstanding awards under the Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. 2013 Incentive Plan (the “2013 Incentive Plan”) that terminate, expire, are paid in cash, or are cancelled, forfeited, exchanged, or surrendered without having been exercised, vested, or paid in shares under the 2013 Incentive Plan after the effective date of the 2022 Incentive Plan will be available for issuance under the 2022 Incentive Plan. As of October 1, 2023, there were 912,037 stock awards outstanding and 5,774,130 shares remaining available for issuance under the 2022 Incentive Plan.

2013 Incentive Plan

Prior to the adoption of the 2022 Incentive Plan, the 2013 Incentive Plan served as the umbrella plan for the Company’s share-based and cash-based incentive compensation programs for its directors, officers and other team members. Upon stockholder approval of the 2022 Incentive Plan on May 25, 2022, no further awards will be granted under the 2013 Incentive Plan, but awards outstanding under the 2013 Incentive Plan will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms and the terms of the 2013 Incentive Plan.

Stock Options

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of options at grant date. Options vest in accordance with the terms set forth in the grant letter.

Time-based options vest annually over a period of three years.

RSUs

The fair value of RSUs is based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. RSUs generally vest annually over a period of two or three years from the grant date.

PSAs

PSAs granted in 2019 were subject to the Company achieving certain earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT") performance targets for the 2021 fiscal year. The criteria was based on a range of performance targets in which grantees may earn 0% to 200% of the base number of awards granted. The performance conditions with respect to fiscal year 2021 EBIT were deemed to have been met, and the PSAs vested at the maximum pay out level on the third anniversary of the grant date (March 2022). There were no outstanding 2019 PSAs as of October 1, 2023.

PSAs granted in 2020 were subject to the Company achieving certain earnings before taxes (“EBT”) performance targets for the 2022 fiscal year.

In February 2023, the Company's board of directors approved the closing of 11 stores during 2023, all of which were closed during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2023. These stores, on average, were approximately 30% larger than the Company's current prototype format and were underperforming financially. The closure of these stores resulted in a charge of $27.8 million during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2023 related to the impairment of leasehold improvements and right-of-use assets and is reflected in Store closure and other costs, net on the consolidated statements of income. The impairment charge represented the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of each store's asset group. Accelerated depreciation on the closed stores' assets during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2023 was $5.9 million, and is reflected in Depreciation and amortization on the consolidated statements of income. Severance expense was immaterial during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2023, and no further severance expense is expected to be incurred.

16. Business Combination

On March 20, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of Ronald Cohn, Inc., a corporation that owned two stores located in California operating under the ‘Sprouts Farmers Market’ name pursuant to a legacy trademark license arrangement. The aggregate consideration paid in the transaction consisted of 0.6 million of the Company’s common shares valued at $18.1 million using the closing price of the Company's common stock on March 20, 2023 and cash consideration of $13.0 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments.

The Company accounted for this transaction as a business combination in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that the purchase price be allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Acquisition-related costs were immaterial and were expensed as incurred. The financial results of the acquired stores have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The acquired stores' results of operations were not material to the Company's consolidated results during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2023.

The net purchase price was initially allocated to the net tangible assets of ($4.9) million and a reacquired right intangible asset of $23.1 million based on their preliminary fair values on the acquisition date. The remaining unallocated net purchase price of $12.9 million was recorded as goodwill. Goodwill represents the future economic benefits to the Company from the acquisition, which include the Company's ability to fully control the Sprouts Farmers Market brand by termination of the legacy trademark license agreement and allowing further expansion opportunities in Southern California. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. There have been no material changes to the purchase price allocation originally recorded in the first quarter of 2023. The provisional fair value estimates are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained within the measurement period, which may not exceed twelve months from the acquisition date.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied upon the transfer of goods to the customer, which occurs at the point of sale, and payment from customers is also due at the time of sale. Proceeds from the sale of gift cards are recorded as a liability at the time of sale and recognized as sales when they are redeemed by the customer and the performance obligation is satisfied by the Company. The Company’s gift cards do not expire. Based on historical redemption rates, a small and relatively stable percentage of gift cards will never be redeemed, referred to as "breakage." Estimated breakage revenue is recognized over time in proportion to actual gift card redemptions and was not material in any period presented. A summary of the activity and balances in the gift card liability, net is as follows:
